As a famous historical and cultural city, Zhenjiang is rich in food culture. In Zhenjiang, there are rumors of "three strange songs", with smooth colors: rice vinegar is not rotten, the meat is unreasonable, and the lid is cooked in a noodle pot. These three strange legends reflect the food characteristics of Zhenjiang. People say, "It's a shame not to go to the Great Wall and not to taste the' Three Monsters'", so it seems that this tourist has come to Zhenjiang for nothing.
Rice vinegar is not rotten, the meat is unreasonable, and the lid is cooked in the noodle pot. This is just a superficial meaning. I feel that the snacks in this place are really strange. Now that we know what these three monsters are, and they all say it is a pity not to taste them, let's see how strange these three monsters should be.
Zhenjiang rice vinegar is very famous. It has always been famous at home and abroad for its "sour but not bitter, fragrant and sweet, strong color and positive taste" and won many awards at home and abroad. Even in China Medical Grand Ceremony, it is recorded that "the vinegar in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province is the best". But as we all know, the vinegar we usually eat also has a shelf life, so why doesn't this rice vinegar in Zhenjiang go bad?
Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar has superior terrain, unique and superb brewing method and exquisite materials. It is made of high-quality fermented rice in the south of the Yangtze River and excellent sour and vinegar strains. After three processes of solid layered alcohol generation, brewing, fermented grains and vinegar pouring and more than 40 technological processes, it was specially made for 70 days and then stored for 6 to 12 months. Therefore, the longer it is stored, the more mellow it tastes, and it will not change qualitatively.
Yaorou is a special dish developed on the premise of the ancient dish "boiled pig" and amethyst cold pottery. Its meat is tender and delicious, the skin is white and bright, the brine is completely transparent, the meat is crispy, fat but not greasy, thin and toothless. Therefore, people who are close to you will have poems praising "infinite golden scenery, more love for Jingkou meat products, not greasy and crispy, cherry red and tender frozen amethyst dishes".
Zhenjiang's meat dishes have a history of more than 300 years, and they are particularly delicious. It can be said that no one doesn't like them, but why is there such a saying that "meat dishes are unreasonable"? Unexpectedly, because Yaorou can be used as the main course in a banquet, it can be used as noodles with Yaorou when eating morning tea, or it can be cut into small pieces to eat as soon as possible. At first, people said that Yaorou was an unreasonable dish.
Cooking the lid in a noodle pot roughly means putting a smaller lid in a noodle pot and kneading the lids together to cook. This is indeed a strange practice, but in fact it has many benefits.
I heard that Zhenjiang people don't need a lid below. On one occasion, in order to make them familiar with each other quickly, a small noodle restaurant of Mrs. Zhang accidentally covered with a lid, but she mistakenly put the lid of the soup pot into the noodle pot, but this also got twice the result with half the effort. After that, this method continues.
When fresh noodles are put into the boiling water pot, replace the satellite pot to cover the noodle soup, which can achieve the following benefits. First, raw noodles are put in one by one. After steaming, they don't stick or come loose, and the specifications and models are accurate. Second, when the noodle soup is boiling, it is easy to eliminate the foam and keep the fried noodles from turbidity. Third, fresh noodles are easy to cook, not long and not broken.
Speaking of which, everyone knows what the three monsters in Zhenjiang are! You all know why they are strange! When you travel to a place, everyone will taste its typical food and appreciate its food, but in addition, you should also know the historical time of the product, which is really more magical.
